I bought this acer some years ago and would like to buy another one but can't find the Label explaining what variety it is. I have enclosed a couple of photos showing the spring (green/gold) foliage and the autumn (crimson/pink) foliage.

Are you able to identify the variety ?

Thanks

There are 100s of different Acers and I is probably going to be very difficult to make an ID. I would however have a guess at Acer palmatum Orange Dream.
Can I just say that it's hardly surprising you want another that specimen is gorgeous!

You do have a very attractive tree, I would actually contrast it with a nice green leafed Acer rather than trying to get the same variety. Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum' would be a good choice. If you really want to go down getting the same variety then taking a hardwood cutting from your current tree would be your best bet.
